    Well, if garages count, I saw a yellow 355 spider, a Pantera, Porsche 911 Turbo, couple or few 308's, etc., in a garage a week or so ago. They were all waiting to be worked on.

    I haven't seen that one. Where can it be seen? Care to name owner?

    It was on Baronne St. by the Bruno & Bruno law firm. I'm not sure who the owner is. I've just seen the car.

    No Fcars today but saw two Bentley Conti GTs...a hardtop this morning on I-12 near Lacombe and then a convertible this evening near Denham Springs.

    Later, on I-12 close to Hammond, I saw a truck coming the opposite direction with a strange black mass on a trailer...it was a Lambo Countach that appeared to be the victim of an engine fire; very crispy aft of the doors. It looked to be the real deal but hard to tell considering the condition.

    Wow, two days in a row now I've seen Ferraris. This totally made my day. I saw it where St. Charles and Carollton meet in uptown New Orleans. Had trouble getting a decent pic because it was raining.

    What? Someone actually lets their Ferrari get rained on? ;) My 360 is out getting soaked in the parking lot right now. :)

    I think I saw that one around Tulane's campus a few months back. Nice looking 355

    Two nights ago I was walking my gf's dog in Lakeview and saw the orange Gallardo that is around town driving down Robert E. Lee in the rain.

    That 355 is actually one of best bud's dad's daily driver. It is usually parked on Morse road in Mandeville behind PJ's at his office. Very sad part of the story, he had a white 308 because his golf clubs wouldn't fit in the 355, and it unfortunately caught fire last year on the causeway. He barely made it to the crossover before it was completely engulfed in flames. Very sad.

    I see it by pj's and at the new courthouse sometimes. I remember the white one, it was probably the same one I took a pic of once when it was parked in courthouse alley in Cov. I think there was a pic on here somewhere of it after it was burned. I really like the dark red on the 355

    Is it common for 308s to spontaneously combust? Seems odd (and scary!) that a car would just burst into flames.

    Is the owner an attorney? I'm wondering if it's someone I know.

    At the risk of sounding like an idiot, I'm going to ask anyway. What is it?

    Nissan GT-R...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_GT-R

    One of the best "sports cars" in the world; probably #1 in terms of "bang for the buck". I believe MSRP is in the $70K.
